New vulnerabilities have been discovered in the iPhone

Five informed sources said that a second Israeli company exploited a loophole in Apple's software at the same time that the Israeli "NSO" electronic intelligence group was able to hack the iPhone in 5.

The sources pointed out that the "Qua Dream" company, which is smaller and less known, is working in the field of developing smart phone penetration tools for government clients.

And in the past year, the two competing companies gained the ability to hack iPhones from a distance; According to what the five sources said, which means that the two companies can put Apple's phones at risk without their owners opening malicious links, according to Reuters.

An expert said that two companies' use of one sophisticated method known as "Zero Click" proves that phones are more vulnerable to effective digital spying tools than the phone industry admits.

Dave Itel added; Partner at Cordyceps Systems, a cybersecurity firm: “People want to think they're safe, and phone companies want you to think they're safe. And what we realized is that it is not.”

Experts who have been analyzing the hacking of the “NSO Group” and “Qua Dream” company since last year believe that the two companies used very similar software methods known as “Forced Entry” to hack iPhone phones.

Three of the sources said analysts believed the two companies' hacking methods were similar; Because they exploited one vulnerability in Apple's instant messaging platform and used a similar method to implant malware in the targeted devices.
